I have a syringe that i stick through one of the holes in the top and squirt it down into the cap. I leave a few drops in the web too. They drink the drops in the web sometimes or it'll just evaporate. Or u can open the top and stick the syringe down in. My versi is the friendliest T i own. If you're at all worried just distract him with food then once hes munching carefully refill it lol trick them

Look what I found in the Bathroom!!

What kind do you think it is?

The legs look like black widow legs so i'd guess something from the Lactrodectus genus...? (I googled that, i didnt know it off the top of my head lol).

Man o man what a weekend 2 shows and did pretty good! after expenses and buying $600 worth or stuff to restock I still made a couple hundred profit. well the wife made the profit I get paid in Ts and snakes lol. I sold a whopping 4 crested geckos, 2 leos, and 1 snake. everything else was scorpions and spiders! I'll have to get pics in a day or two but i'm just taking a break from cleaning and putting stuff away. I did pick up a camel spider, more emerald skeletons about 2.5", and some blue femurs. I also wheeled and dealed and managed to pick up a hypo jungle rtb girl for my boa collection. :) makes 3 of them! Lots of stuff I cant even remember half of it. this weekend has been a blur! O and I got 1.1 goliath bird eaters but those were sold before I picked them up. they will be packed and shipped tomorrow! NOT looking forward to that! lol

Anyone know if theres a market for true spiders? I've got a line on huntsman and some different orb weavers but gotta figure out if theres people that would want them. also that arrow head spider that my mother in law gave me seems to have made a web sack! kinda really hoping that is what it is. its a ball of webbing about the size of its body stuck to the lid of its vial. :)

Hope everyone had a fun of a weekend as we did!

A better pic of the spider would help. Doesn't have the abdomen of a widow. Maybe some type of Wolf Spider? Shine a light in its eyes. Wolfs eyes will reflect like a cat or dog.

Yeah that should be a sac Damon!

There is somewhat of a market for trues. I would never buy any because they seem to die so easy. Find the right people and you might be able to make some good trades.

Oh and good luck with that unpacking!! Dress up in hazmat gear and wear gloves. :p. How big are they? I would be so stressed to ship a heavy bodied spider. :/

Good luck with the emerald skeleton's damon, i'm having horrid luck with my ephebopus. Maybe i'll try again someday with bigger specimens.

Thanks guys! Transfers successful! Not to worried about shipping as the owner gave guidelines on how she wants them packed no lag so no problem for me. Ill email you guys (you know who I mean) my full list of available probably later today.

Sorry missed that question Rich. The female is about 7.5" and the male is around 5" on the goliath bird eaters. That camel spider was an easy transfer. I put its old cup in the new bigger cup pulled the lid off and slapped the big cups lid on. So yea theres a little cup still in there for it to play on. Lol. The biggest stress was actually transferring the H. Macs. Got 4 that are 2+" if you want them as we discussed you don't have to take that many. Just got that many extra. I'm really liking them! Hate to give Mike a big head but he's right baboons are awesome! I've got to find some wholesale lots of pokies tho. Lots of request for them!

Hey Mike how far is Ridgefield from you?
